The problem with White Supremacy is that it believes in individualism. So each white bodied person of European descent must be addressed and worked with individually to get them through and out of the miasma of white supremacy they were born into. It is a deep and cultural instilling of white supremacy that pervades the culture of my fellow European Americans.

Things that we take as being quirks or positive traits are things that white supremacy uses to instill a separation in us from our cousins in the global majority. Examples of this are things like, "Its okay, I hate everyone equally" or even perfectionism.

An example is precise speech when it comes to how someone other than a white person speaks, versus acceptance of changed words and patterns when a white person says it. You may not realize you are doing it, or judging someone for it, because, "haha they said aks instead of ask" but you accept assassination as a word and that is more made up than the metathesis of ask.

Because it places value judgement on others, who culturally have a reason for how they speak (Sunn m'Cheaux covers this in better detail than I ever good, considering he teaches about it as well as the Gullah language at harvard: alp.fas.harvard.edu/people/sun)

All this is to say, that what I am saying here is a small thing. One aspect, and if you find yourself feeling upset about hearing it, maybe its because you don't know enough. I recommend you go and find some information yourself. Since you're such an individual and all.....
